It is quite possible to get a PC wihtout an OS installed. The individual makes a decision to buy a bundled product. Right, Reggie. How far down the list of OEMs do you have to go before you can buy a PC without Windows? Certainly not the top five, or ten. Beyond that, you may as well just build your own, throwing the hardware together is a lot easier that getting Windows to run anyway, in my experience. Why is that anyway? I mean, the original consent decree was supposed to address this. Could it be that Microsoft is actually requiring this as part of their "negotiated" licensing with OEMs? Oh, I forget, it's what the customers want, like the grotty retail Win95 release that the OEMs wouldn't touch. And we got Michael Dell's word for it that nobody wants Netscape software anyway. Cheers, Dan.
